Artery

by SoL_Papaver

Artery adds a sanguinity system to Minecraft: players gather it mainly through combat, and it powers a set of organ blocks, ores and equipment.

What it does

Sanguinity is the central resource. Players harvest it mostly through combat, where every 4 points of damage dealt grants 1 sanguinity, and a player who is injured can spend 4 sanguinity to restore 1 health. The Erythrite ore supplies organ blocks, Leukium makes stronger weapons that gather sanguinity more efficiently, and Thrombium makes armor that restores health at a lower cost. Artery is named after the blood vessel and is loosely modeled on blood magic mods that use the blood of mobs.

Organ blocks form groups with their neighbors automatically, so they do not need wiring to move sanguinity. Blocks in the same group share one sanguinity capacity. The mod has four types of organ blocks, and Flesh, created by infusing rotten flesh, is another material in the chain. The Atrium stores sanguinity, the Ventricle infuses materials, the Fibroblaster restores item durability, and the Pressor releases stronger effects from certain items.

Artery is client and server, so the server and every player need it. It requires Fabric API and optionally uses AppleSkin. Files are published for Fabric only, for 1.21.4 and 1.21.5, and the latest file is 0.5.0+1.21.5 for 1.21.5. The mod is open source under the GNU Lesser General Public License v2.1 only.

Key features

  1. Sanguinity from combat

    Damage dealt to enemies grants sanguinity, which becomes the fuel for the mod's blocks and items.

  2. Organ block groups

    Neighboring organ blocks join a shared group and pool their sanguinity capacity without any wiring.

  3. Ore and metal progression

    Erythrite, Leukium and Thrombium each feed a different tier of organ blocks, weapons or armor.

  4. Material processing blocks

    The Atrium, Ventricle, Fibroblaster and Pressor store, infuse, repair and release power from items.

Questions

Does Artery need Fabric API?

Yes. Fabric API is a required dependency, so it must be installed next to Artery on Fabric.

Does the server need Artery?

Yes. Installation covers the server and each player's game.

Is it safe to add Artery to an existing world?

The author plans regular backups because the mod is under development, can interact unexpectedly with other mods and is somewhat unbalanced. Backing up the world before installing is advised.

What the author says

Artery, named after the blood vessel artery, is a mod for Fabric that adds a new mechanism called sanguinity. It also adds several items and blocks centered around it. It's like blood magic (not the mod), but with other mobs' blood. It's an interesting tech/magic mod (imo).
